The Spanish sure do know the meaning of the words Viva la Vida!If you need a little pick me up before or after your workout, no worries mate grab yourself a Beer a Brandy or a Bundy.In fact, I saw a guy this morning downing a nice cold beer and puffing on a ciggie right after his workout at the gym's own bar.2.Prostitutes set up in deck chairs on the side of the road. On the way home from dropping the kids at school and feeling a bit horny?No problem, those girls on the side of the freeway or perched at a roundabout aren’t sunning themselves in their deckchairs, they’re selling their services to all and sundry.3.Magic motorists capable of expanding any inadequate car space. It’s best to leave your handbrake off if you’re parked in a busy street.The enterprising Spanish are used to making space for their vehicles on narrow roads and tiny little car parks and have no qualms about squeezing into a space that doesn’t quite fit their car.It’s easy, they just bump back and forth into the cars parked either end of them and ‘aquí está’, they’re in.4.There’s no such thing as purjury in the Spanish Court.It’s not a criminal offense to lie in Court.Go ahead, fib your face off.Apparently both claimants and defendants are entitled, even expected to lie in defense of themselves or their claims.It’s all fun and games – until someone is lying about you!5.The Spanish ‘Free-Pour’. There’s no piddly little measuring cups for spirits in any Spanish bar I’ve come across, it’s free-pour all the way. You’re supposed to say “when” [they’ve poured enough into your glass], but I’ve found if something happens to grab your attention elsewhere while they're pouring, it just keeps coming.Voila, half a fish bowl full of Vodka.“Too much Vermouth and not enough Gin in your Martini?No pasa nada Señora we’ll bring you the bottles and your can mix it exactly as you like. How many olives?”
